Description
I hiked "The Wave" on a beautiful, sunny day. It was a strenuous 3 mile hike in sand and sandstone.
... ... ...
Number of tourists is limited by BLM permit to protect the fragile rock formations. I started the hike on the Navajo reservation in Utah and walked to Coyote Butte North in Arizona, where the dramatic iconic "wave" rock formations are located.
... ... ...
This photograph was taken in a side canyon that few people ever see or know about. The orange, red,gold, and pink colors are all nature's artwork. They change as the sun moves across the horizon. The striated patterns in the rocks were created thousands of years ago by erosion caused by wind and water.
... ... ...
A photographer's paradise - what an adventure!

Stunning. I love this part of the country. Of course, I also love Cape Cod and the northeast.
